HPV is common, 8 in 10 people will have it in their lifetime

It usually goes away without causing any problems but it can cause the development of cellular changes which can lead to cervical cancer.

Myth busting

At Thyia we want to tackle the current myths and misnomers around cervical screening and HPV

Anyone with a cervix over 25 should test every 1-3 years

All eligible women aged between 25-64 in England are automatically invited for the cervical cancer screening test. Due to a significant increase in mortality rates over this age, we recommend the test for all women and people with cervixes over 25.

Q: Does this mean I don't have to go to the GP for a smear test?

A: At Thyia, we work alongside the NHS cervical cancer screening programme to offer an alternative to those who do not want to go to a GP for their test, whether due to a busy schedule, embarrassment, access difficulties or other.

Q: I am in a long term partnership/ married - should I still test?

A: HPV can stay dormant in your body without being detected for a very long time. It’s possible you or your partner got the virus many years – even decades ago! Regardless of your relationship status, it’s important to take a test to protect yourself.

Q: What is the difference between a smear test and a HPV test?

A: Traditionally a smear test (or Pap test) was a procedure used to detect abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. Now it is used to detect the presence of HPV. As 99.8% of cervical cancers are caused by HPV, at Thyia (and the NHS!) we test for HPV..
